Am I missing something here, or should governments (ours included) take this guy out? This sounds like it is a very real threat to the lives of people all over the world. It also sounds like he could single handily destroy any progress that has been made toward a more stable world.

I don't understand why he can get away with it without being silenced. Or, at very least, why can't our computer whizzes don't disrupt his flow of internet information.

Also, although nearly impossible, we need to find the leaks and charge those responsible with some crime. (I don't know what crime that is specifically) Is this some kind of espionage?

I agree one hundred percent. I would think, if it is an American citizen doing this, the crime would be high treason punishable by death. If it is a foreign entity, then it would be an act of espionage also punishable by death. We should pursue the individuals where ever they did this and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. It is not freedom of the press to print classified documents. We could shut this guy down in a minute, but can you imagine what all the talking heads would say on the television.
